[Fourlanders] 222 Bandpass filter needed

[Tom McElroy]

I'll help out any way I can, fellas.  I don't have a suitable filter in
house.  But I just ordered some directional couplers and RF relays to allow
my spectrum analyzer to work as a VNA.  9KHz-6.5Ghz.  If  anyone who wants
to tune in a filter, or cut one down (good idea, Ron), my lab is open to any
of yins.
